Paradisefound had a very nice large size note with an Indian Chief which she showed in one of the coin threads.

I collect Virginia currency engraved by Robert Scot, who was the first appointed engraver to the US Mint. The design was very radical, using the Virginia seal of 1776, which essentially depicted the ousting of the British crown from the newly declared United States:

I have been working a set of Confederate paper money by type. I will never finish the set because I am unwilling to pay the prices for the really rare 1861 notes, but I have completed the types for 1862, 1863 and 1864.
Here is one of the prettier 1861 notes. This T-5, (Type #5) note was printed by the Southern Bank Note Company, which was located in New Orleans. It was a branch of the National Bank Note Company of New York. The National Bank Note Company made the first four Confederate notes. Not surprisingly the Union officials did not like that so the work was shifted to the New Orleans branch.
Unfortunately, the South needed far more paper money than the Southern Bank Note Company could provide. The resulted in various other printing companies getting contracts from the Confederate Government to print notes. Some of these notes were low quality, and the plethora of designs opened up numerous possibilities for counterfeiters. Here is an example of one of the lower quality Confederate notes.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
So many types to collect and such beautiful designs. I enjoy collecting both coins and currency. But, I have found that when showing off the collections to friends and family the currency collection, by far, draws the most interest. Especially the older material such as colonials, obsoletes, nationals, and all large size currency.

The Connally piece is a good one. Not only was he Governor of Texas and Secretary of the Treasury, but he was also riding in President Kennedy's car (and was wounded) in Dallas on November 22, 1963 when the president was assassinated. The list of folks who've been wounded in assassination attempts is thankfully very short.
And the note he signed is of the Dallas Federal Reserve. The Dallas notes of 1963 always had a somewhat macabre aura about them due to the Federal Reserve Seal featuring "K" (Kennedy) and "Dallas, Texas" (where JFK was killed). The Federal District numbers "11" on the note represented the month and day that JFK was assassinated (11/22). I am sure that there are probably more coincidences on those notes.
I have a note that compliments one of my coins my set (link below). It’s an Israeli 5 Lirot, and the similar stylized atom model and reactor motif is used in the 10 Lirot coin. Nothing special, not expensive, but I think it’s pretty cool.
_Very nice note from my hometown, Clayton, New York! I will look forward to seeing that on display at FUN next week. I had no idea that such a note existed - I want one _
Thank you - track me down at the SPMC Club table (Table 869) and I'll be happy to tell you all about it.

I just dabble in currency. I buy occasionally when I have expiring eBay Bucks and there's nothing else to use them on.
